Ted, The last 2 expansions lasted about the same time (83 - 91, 93 - 2000), so maybe this is the new length of the cycle. Funny, how the expansion under the Republicans grew and the one under the Democrats shortened. I was just doing ballpark figures. But now that you mention it, I am a little hazy about 83 and 91, or when exactly in 92 the economy turned around (but if you keep count by Rep vs. Dem, 92 would go to Reps). Ok, I just looked up some numbers, and according to this table: jetro.go.jp The real GDP growth in 91 was -1% and 92 was +2.7%, so subtract one year from Bush Sr. from first growth period and add one year to the second growth period. Let's if I can find some numbers for 80s. According to this page: reagan.webteamone.com the GDP started to grow in Q4 1982, so 83 is correct. Joe
